Florida Combined Otolaryngology Meeting 2024 – Round Table Networking: Navigating Challenges in ENT and Audiology

Join fellow providers and students for a dynamic round-table session focused on the unique challenges of providing coordinated care in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT). It is easy to assume that coordinating patient care within the same practice should be straightforward, but the reality is often much more complex. ENT practices must navigate numerous specialties, while managing individual provider schedules for physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. This collaborative forum will explore the impact of evolving patient needs, technology integration, and workforce dynamics on ENT and audiology care. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge from peers' experiences, participate in meaningful dialogue about common challenges, and brainstorm strategies for breaking down silos, enhancing communication, and fostering team collaboration. When providers focus on teamwork and communication, the overall impact on patient care can be substantially improved. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Identify key challenges impacting the field of audiology, including technology, patient care, regulatory factors, and workforce issues. 2. Discuss various viewpoints and experiences shared by peers in addressing these challenges, highlighting strategies that have been effective in different practice settings. 3. Evaluate the implications of evolving patient needs and healthcare policies on audiology practice and service delivery.
